I remember recalling that the PSB's considered this song their response to the lunatic cheerleading over the first Gulf War. The constant visual dazzling showing the pinpoint bomb hits and bunker busting explosions from so high up it didn't even "feel" like death. It was all like a cool video game.
So in that context, all the talk of "imagine a war where everyone won," and "living in a satellite fantasy, waiting for the night to end," fit quite well.
I seem to recall the last line was specifically in reference to Wolf Blitzer's report from the hotel room when Baghdad was struck. It made him an instant media hero, and represented the new era of modern gizmo war. Laser guided missiles, drone weaponry, and the like.
